Chapter 655 Two People's Wishes (8)
The First Lady was imprisoned on the night she entered the palace, but was released soon after, only to be exiled.
Although Yihan was the emperor's most beloved son, the emperor could not tolerate his son coveting his throne, so he was extremely angry when he took out the dragon robe, and even thought that he was unfilial.
The Li family's arranged marriage was also implicated, enraging the emperor, who ordered a thorough investigation of the Li family.
As it turned out, the Li family was not involved in the succession struggle. The only bad thing they had done over the years was to arrange marriages, but this was still a challenge to the emperor's authority.
Li Dan died, but his family members, though spared the death penalty, were subjected to exile.
The First Madam was completely unaware of what was happening; she was already on her way to exile, with a group of Li family members beside her.
The exile in this life began earlier than in the previous one, and Xiong Bufan's arrival accelerated the mission's progress.
The First Madam was helpless; she was just grateful to have survived and didn't ask for anything more.
Moreover, her maternal family will not abandon her; once things have calmed down, she will be brought back.
It's just a pity for Li Xian'er; she has no home anymore.
Xiong Bufan had no way to deal with this task target. After settling down in Baicheng, this person started causing trouble.
Today, I took the talismans I bought from the scammers and pasted them all over the front and back of my house.
Tomorrow I'll go to the temple and get a string of Buddhist prayer beads to hang in the most prominent place in the main hall.
After Xiong Bufan tied Li Han up and hung him on a tree, he did the same thing again the next day.
If this perseverance were used for business, it would surely make one incredibly wealthy; if used for farming, it would ensure a full stomach every year; and if used for the battlefield, it would allow one to rise again and continue killing even after being stabbed twice in the heart.
At this time, Li Han invited a Taoist priest named Suiyue to frolic around the house. He even sprinkled talisman water in Xiong Bufan's residence and waved a whisk around everywhere.
Xiong Bufan watched all this with a cold eye, wanting to skin Suiyue and hang her on Li Han's door to ward off evil spirits.
When Suiyue saw Xiong Bufan come out, she held a whisk and kept jumping around in front of Xiong Bufan, muttering to herself, just like a shaman performing a ritual.
Li Han was afraid that her purpose was too obvious and would offend Xiong Bufan, so she explained, "Xiaoyu, we just moved, and I was worried about not being used to the new environment, so I'm doing this to ward off evil spirits."
Upon hearing what Li Han said, Suiyue is now jumping around in front of Li Han again.
Xiong Bufan: "This house is very clean. Quickly give him a few copper coins to send this shaman away."
Because of his reputation, Li Han did not tell anyone that it was Xiong Bufan who needed the exorcism.
Suiyue was very unhappy to hear this. "Miss, you can't say that. I'm only doing this for the peace and tranquility of the family."
Xiong Bufan disliked those who didn't appreciate her kindness, so she reached out and threw Suiyue away. She didn't want to kill anyone right now.
"Aaaaaah, you shrew!"
The whisk was left behind, and Xiong Bufan immediately threw it out as well.
Li Han was a little scared when she saw Xiong Bufan's appearance, and slowly backed away. Xiong Bufan's face turned fierce, and he took out a rope, tied her up, and hung her on a tree.
When the wind blew, Li Han swayed back and forth, and even in daylight, she looked somewhat frightening.
Li Han: "Put me down, put me down."
Xiong Bufan: "If you shout again, I'll hang you upside down so I can drain the water from your brain."
Li Han was so frightened that she dared not speak, and could only swing on the swing while tears streamed down her face.
After finishing his work, Xiong Bufan continued walking back. Why did someone have to cause trouble when everyone was having such a good time?
The old woman and cook who were taking care of Xiong Bufan and his companion stayed far away; they would stay out of the master's business if they could avoid it.
Xiong Bufan listened to the shouts while drinking tea, enjoying a rather pleasant life.
Li Han shouted a few times and then fell silent, swinging gently in the tree.
Kongkong kept watching the situation outside the mirror. Seeing Li Han tied to the tree, she kept covering her mouth and laughing. She thought that this person had bullied Xiong Bufan, and now that he had been dealt with, he deserved it.
The old woman who served her, Granny Liu, was about the same age as Li Han, but Granny Liu looked much older than Li Han and was also very thin.
She always envied Li Han, wondering if she could also live in a big mansion and hire several people to serve her if she had money.
He then slowly approached Li Han and asked, "Madam, has your relationship with Miss always been like this?"
Li Han's voice was hoarse from arguing earlier, so she didn't speak, just hung up.
Granny Liu continued, "Logically speaking, as the young lady's mother, she shouldn't treat you like this."
I have a son, twenty years old this year, handsome, who just passed the imperial examination and became a scholar; his future is limitless….”
The implication was that Xiong Bufan was getting old and needed a man to keep him in check, otherwise he would be unfilial and no one would inherit the family business.
Li Han thought it made some sense. She didn't care about the second marriage. After all, she had entered the mansion as a concubine while pregnant with Xiaoyu. Although she didn't enjoy the riches and honors, she still had enough to eat and drink.
However, Xiaoyu has to make many decisions on her own; she doesn't dare to interfere.
Ever since a wandering ghost possessed Xiaoyu's body, Xiaoyu has become extremely vicious. Although she is kind to her, she is disobedient.
Granny Liu was still downstairs asking, "Madam, what do you think? If you think it's good, I'll bring my son over to take a look?"
Li Han finally spoke, "This matter is not appropriate, so you shouldn't think about it."
In her heart, Granny Liu cursed Li Han and Xiong Bufan, this widow and orphan, for being so picky, but on the surface she respectfully said, "Yes, Madam."
"Yes, go and call the young lady here."
Granny Liu: "Yes, Madam."
Li Han nodded, waiting for Granny Liu to call Xiong Bufan over.
When you're tied up, remember to remind Xiong Bufan, because she might forget, and then you'll be hung up all night.
Xiong Bufan hasn't forgotten about this, and is now thinking of finding Li Han a job so she won't keep causing trouble every day, as if she hasn't learned her lesson despite being beaten.
This world is still quite harsh on women; apart from widows, very few women show their faces in public.
However, Li Han is no longer a widow, and Xiong Bufan felt he had a good idea.
Thinking of what had happened before, Kongkong advised, "Bufan, don't send the original owner's mother to sell herself. If you do that, the original owner will immediately determine that the mission has failed."
"Don't worry, I won't do that. I'll do something great, and they'll all thank me."
"really?"
Xiong Bufan nodded firmly, "Really, I never lie to you."
"it is good."
After figuring out what Li Han was going to do, Xiong Bufan turned around, got out of bed, dressed, and ran out in a flash.
She now needs to scout out the enemy's situation; only by knowing herself and her enemy can she be invincible.
Even though Granny Liu was unwilling, she still went to Xiong Bufan's room to find her and asked her to put Li Han down.
Unfortunately, Xiong Bufan was not at home at the time, so they had to give up.
